I'm currently doing some work on the CommandLine library but I don't
think my work is going to help you. I'm current working on...

- Allowing declared command line options to be put into categories to
allow a categorised --help for tools
- Providing an iterator so that clients can iterate through registered
command line options and programmatically hide options.

I did send out an e-mail about the idea last week (
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2013-February/059129.html )
but didn't hear anything back so assumed there were no objections to
the idea.

I'll keep an eye on this thread though.

Regards,
Dan Liew.

That looks useful!  For this proposal, though, I'm not looking at extending
the functionality of command-line options.  I just need a thread-safe way
of control the existing options.
